Charles Simeon

Reading biography of Charles Simeon 1759-1836. The members of the church locked the pews so people couldn’t hear him, locked the doors so sinners couldn’t come in, and he still preached faithfully for 54 years in the same place.  I’m a woos.  “My endeavor” he wrote, “ is to bring out of Scripture what is there and not to trust in what I think may be there.  Take the Word as little children without enquiring what human system it appears to favor.”   “ Be a Bible Christian not a system Christian.”  In a day when we like to create camps of thought, these are great words.  Think I heard Francis Chan say the same thing last week at Exponential.  Some things are timeless.

Together we will,
